maddoj I wanted to get some feedback on legal/illegal uniform adornments. Long sleeves worn on 1 arm? Play cards worn on the belt vs on the wrist/forearm?
mbyron NFHS: if the sleeve is not part of the shirt, it's illegal. The card may be worn only on the wrist.
maddoj Thx. I did finally find in the NFHS Case Book tonight a ruling concerning the play cards, but I haven't found anything written about the sleeves. The rule itself (1-5-3c) isn't really specific. Have you found this written anywhere?

Some states have ruled the sleeves to be adornments, and thus illegal. Others have ruled that they are protective equipment, and thus legal.

I might have heard that sleeves are illegal from the state and mistaken that for an interp of a NFHS rule. 😮
HLin NC Look at 1-6-3- where it says c. The following Other Illegal Equipment: 1. Ball-colored helmets, jerseys, patches, exterior arm covers/pads,. As stated previously- some states are allowing them. Your state may differ.
